Take control of and monitor your world with our ultimate jack-of-all-trades Raspberry Pi HAT!We've pulled together a great set of features into this home monitoring and automation controller. With relays, analog channels, powered outputs, and buffered inputs (all 24 V tolerant) you can now hook up a plethora of goodies to your Raspberry Pi all at once.Better still each channel has an indicator LEDs which means at a glance you can see what's happening with your setup. Even the analog channels have dimming LEDs that allow you to see the value they are currently sensing – swish!Ideal for smart home and automation projects, giving your greenhouse intelligent sprinklers, or scheduling your fish feeding!Features 3x 24 V @ 2 A relays (NC and NO terminals) 3x 12-bit ADC @ 0-24 V (±2% accuracy) 3x 24 V tolerant buffered inputs 3x 24 V tolerant sinking outputs 15x channel indicator LEDs 1x 12-bit ADC @ 0-3.3 V 3.5 mm screw terminals Power, Comms, and Warn! LED indicators SPI, TX (#14), RX (#15), #25 pins broken out Automation HAT pinout Compatible with all 40-pin header Raspberry Pi models Python library Schematic Comes fully assembled (broken out pins require soldering) SoftwareAs ever, we've made a super-simple to use Python library to take advantage of Automation HAT's multitudinous functions, with examples to get you started.Our input, output and relay examples show you how to read the analog and digital inputs, switch the outputs on and off, and control the relays.Notes We recommend you use a set of brass M2.5 standoffs with Automation HAT to avoid pins contacting the HDMI port if the HAT is pushed down Loads for the buffered outputs should be switched on the ground side, i.e. 12/24 V (from supply) -> load -> output terminal -> ground (from supply) The relays can tolerate up to 2 A each and should be switched on the high side The sinking outputs can sink a maximum 500 mA total across the 3 outputs, so if you use a single channel you can sink the whole 500 mA across it. The accuracy of the ADC is ±2%. Do not use to switch mains voltages!

Pico Breakout Garden Base sits underneath your Pico and lets you connect up to six of our extensive selection of Pimoroni breakouts to it. Whether it's environmental sensors so you can keep track of the temperature and humidity in your office, a whole host of little screens for important notifications and readouts, and, of course, LEDs. Scroll down for a list of breakouts that are currently compatible with our C++/MicroPython libraries!As well as a labelled landing area for your Pico, there's also a full set of broken out Pico connections, in case you need to attach even more sensors, wires, and circuitry. We've thrown in some rubber feet to keep the base nice and stable and to stop it from scratching your desk, or there are M2.5 mounting holes at the corners so that you can bolt it onto a solid surface if you prefer.The six sturdy black slots are edge connectors that connect the breakouts to the pins on your Pico. There's two slots for SPI breakouts, and four slots for I²C breakouts. Because I²C is a bus, you can use multiple I²C devices at the same time, providing they don't have the same I²C address (we've made sure that all of our breakouts have different addresses, and we print them on the back of the breakouts so they're easy to find).As well as being a handy way to add functionality to your Pico, Breakout Garden is also very useful for prototyping projects without the need for complicated wiring, soldering, or breadboards, and you can grow or change up your setup at any time.Features Six sturdy edge-connector slots for breakouts 4x I²C slots (5 pins) 2x SPI slot (7 pins) Landing area with female headers for Raspberry Pi Pico 0.1” pitch, 5 or 7 pin connectors Broken-out pins Reverse polarity protection (built into breakouts) 99% assembled – just need to stick on the feet!

Thanks to its six sturdy slots, Breakout Garden enables the users to simply plug and play with various tiny breakout board.Just insert one or more boards into the slots in the Breakout Garden HAT and you’re ready to go. The mini breakouts feel secure enough in the edge-connector slots and are very unlikely to fall out.There are a number of useful pins along the top of Breakout Garden, which lets you connect other devices and integrate them into your project.You shouldn't be worried if you insert a board the wrong way thanks to provided reverse polarity protection. It doesn't matter which slot you use for each breakout either, because the I²C address of the breakout will be recognised by the software and it'll detect them correctly in case you move them around.Features Six sturdy edge-connector slots for Pimoroni breakouts 0.1” pitch, 5 pin connectors Broken-out pins (1 × 10 strip of male header included) Standoffs (M2.5, 10 mm height) included to hold your Breakout Garden securely Reverse polarity protection (built into breakouts) HAT format board Compatible with Raspberry Pi 3 B+, 3, 2, B+, A+, Zero, and Zero W It's suggested using the included standoffs to attache Breakout Garden to your Raspberry Pi.SoftwareBreakout Garden doesn't require any software of its own, but each breakout you use will need a Python library. On the Breakout Garden GitHub page you'll find an automatic installer, which will install the appropriate software for a given breakout. There are also some examples that show you what else you can do with Breakout Garden.
